No Kings
(Eingestellt am 6. Juli 2026, 05:24 Uhr von MartyMissile)
This is my first Sudoku! Figured out how to make the puzzle in sudokupad, link here: https://sudokupad.app/0motxvg9iy.
__________________________
Normal Sudoku rules apply.
3x3 boxes are kingdoms, each ruled by a king and queen, whose representative digit is to be deduced by the solver.
The green trade region (along the edge) is thriving, as it contains no king. The central red trade region is at war, as it contains more kings than any other inhabitant (digit).
Kings are all out of each other's reach (by chess rules). Each king at war has jailed a queen in the cell directly below them.
The queens who are free to move have all chosen cells that do not form a domino with any king, and that are not within range of ANY other queen (by chess rules).
Dominoes connected by a torch sum to 5, those connected by a pitchfork sum to 10. All possible torches and pitchforks are given.
Queens are double the value of kings
Sum the totals for each trade region to decrypt the puzzle
Lösungscode: All the digits from the 6th row

Okay maybe it's not as obvious as I thought it was, maybe it's more of a regional thing.
Thanks for playing though!

Thanks, I figured it was a bit grindy after I posted it. Good feedback!
Did you do the decryption at the end?

Well done! Nice first puzzle :)
I found the king/queen section easy, but satisfying. The next part of checking all cells for 5/10s was a bit of a grind
